COVID problems must be someone else’s fault

By Letter to the Editor on September 30, 2021.

Editor:
I must take issue with people who blame Dr. Hinshaw and other officials for the COVID situation. As seems popular today many people don’t want to take responsibility for their actions. After all it must be someone else’s fault, right? As was reported on Sept. 23, all new COVID admissions to ICU are unvaccinated people. All of them. Unless you put a strangle-hold on people with mass restrictions and use force to get people vaccinated the unvaccinated will never take the jab. No amount of persuasion will make them.
So reluctantly we must live with restrictions that impose hardships on those unvaccinated. Reading some letters, the writers seem to think that by getting at these so-called horrid, offensive and inhumane government officials, COVID will go away. It’s a study in psychology on how some try to focus their, and hopefully your, hatred on someone else. It’s a sad indictment of today and what COVID has done to the collective community spirit. It can’t be me.
 It must be someone else’s fault so get rid of whoever we can see on TV who is telling us the bad news.
